I just flew HB-JMC from Geneva to Zurich yesterday. It's always fun flying such a short route on such a big plane and as I arrived in GVA with only 25 minutes to connect (including going through passport control and second screening) I can now officially say a Swiss A340 has been waiting for me :P
(I was impressed by how well organized connection travel is in ZRH and GVA on Swiss! Even though we arrived at a satellite gate in GVA. First Bus with only 5 other people in it and people calling us and guiding us in front of every line (passport control and security screening as well as them waiting for us at the gate itself!)

But as of now no A340 has even started being refurbished. You can still see all six aircraft currently flying on flightradar24.com and the stewardess I spoke to told me it'll still be some time before the old Swiss First Class will be gone (aka a few months). Meanwhile I'll hope I'll get the chance to fly the old Swiss First Class one more time.
I somehow just always liked the old interior of the A340s... It just reminds me of earlier travel times and how things in travel used to be..., getting me all nostalgic right now :P
But sadly I don't see that happening because A.) I don't usually fly First and B.) I won't have any travel plans involving a flight that long that would be served by an A340.
